Chapter 7: Underground Discoveries
Although it was strictly a smile, Xuanyuan Hong could feel the killing intent hidden behind this smile.
It was a great risk to strictly reveal his secret to Xuanyuan Hong and Tai Long, and once this secret was leaked, the army of the Star Empire guarding the Lingzang Star would not let him go no matter what.
As long as Xuanyuan Hong and Tyrone refuse to cooperate with him, then the two of them will turn into two cold corpses in the next moment!
"It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy on this Spiritual Hidden Star, as long as you can really take us out of the Spiritual Hidden Star, we are willing to cooperate with you. Xuanyuan Hong nodded.
"Very well, I am not wrong, you are much smarter and bolder than those minions. The killing intent in Strict's eyes has completely disappeared.
"Tomorrow I'm going to join the stray joints of the Starry Sky Empire, so you can go and see it too. Strictly smiled faintly.
"Hung, do we really want to work with him? I think it's good that we can continue to live in this mine. Tyrone was a little uneasy.
In the past month or so, it can be said that Tyrone has lived the most stable life on the Lingzang Star, he can eat enough every day, and he doesn't have to worry about the abuse of the Star Empire army, he feels that it is already very good to continue this life.
As for freedom, although he also has a luxury, you must know that it is only an extravagant hope.
It's not that there is no resistance on the Lingzang Star, it's not that there is no escape, but in exchange for the ruthless suppression of the Star Empire's army, under the guard of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Star Empire, the chance of escaping from this planet is infinitely close to zero.
Even if strictly he has a high-level mecha, even if he is a major general, but what can this be?
A high-level mecha can't match the hundreds of thousands of troops of this Star Empire, let alone the fleet of the Star Empire guarding the periphery of Lingzang Star!
"Deal, what do you want this time?" Xuanyuan Hong was a little curious.
"Food, water, and wine, what do you think these chops will give you!" Strict smiled coldly.
Those people are greedy but they are not stupid, they will refuse any contraband, even a sharp knife they will not give you.
This transaction strictly paid nearly two thousand catties of ore, and they are all extremely rare ores, and there are even spirit stones, but what they got is only a few hundred catties of bread and two boxes of inferior liquor and a few barrels of pure water, and there is probably no business in the world that is more profitable.
Connecting with Xuanyuan Hong was a slightly bloated officer, strictly speaking, this person was the quartermaster in charge of the logistics of 10,000 people, and all these things he exchanged for were through this quartermaster.
This time it was also a strict test for Xuanyuan Hong and Tai Long, that is, to ask these two people to connect with the quartermaster instead of him, and the place of connection was in a mine that had long been abandoned.
"What's the matter, what about that guy, why isn't he here?" the quartermaster's face changed when he saw Xuanyuan Hong and Tyrone.
"The boss didn't come, this time we came to trade with the adults. Xuanyuan Hong opened the mouth of the bag behind him, and suddenly a few spirit stones firmly attracted the quartermaster's gaze.
Here he buys these ores at an outrageously low price, and then ships them back to the Star Empire through his own channels to sell, and the profits in the middle are already unimaginably high.
"Forget it, forget it this time, if you don't see it again next time, then you don't want to get anything in my hands!" the quartermaster snorted.
"I'm afraid you'll never have a chance to cooperate with me again!" Suddenly, the quartermaster felt a chill on his neck, and his head was instantly separated from his body.
A dark golden mech appeared behind him, the same one they had seen in the Strict Stronghold.
Now this mecha gives Xuanyuan Hong the feeling of being extremely dangerous, and facing this mecha is like facing a hideous giant beast.
"I finally took this opportunity. Strict smiled coldly.
Outside the mine, the wreckage of dozens of mechs that had been cut into pieces was scattered all over the ground, and Xuanyuan Hong and the others didn't even hear any sound.
Strictly just selected a few parts and returned to the base with a large bag of things.
"Are you using us as bait?" Xuanyuan Hong looked at Yan Yan angrily.
"Whatever you want!" Strict didn't care, but concentrated on fiddling with the parts that had been removed from the wreckage of the mech.
"Now you can move freely, and I'll contact you when the time comes. "Strictly divided a part of the water and food to Xuanyuan Hong and Tyrone.
Xuanyuan Hong didn't understand, what was the purpose of killing the quartermaster and a dozen mecha at a huge risk, didn't he know that his move would make the entire Lingzang Xing's army go crazy, I'm afraid that the Lingzang Xing's army would make a big move in the next few days, after all, more than a dozen mecha were lost at once.
"I'm afraid our mine is not safe anymore, and we have to go deeper. Xuanyuan Hong sighed slightly.
In normal times, the army of the Star Empire may not enter the depths of the mine, but this time it has already violated the bottom line of the Star Empire, and I am afraid that a large number of troops will be sent to clear the mine.
And the fact is just as Xuanyuan Hong expected, in the abandoned mine tunnel, the army of the Star Empire found the wreckage of the mecha and the corpse of the soldier, and suddenly a large number of mecha appeared in the mine tunnel, and began to hunt and kill the mine slaves, the Star Empire is to use this bloody suppression to make all the mine slaves feel afraid, so that all the mine slaves feel afraid from the bottom of their hearts, and completely lose the heart of resistance.
However, this time the clean-up is only limited to more than a thousand meters down the mine, as for the deeper area, it is very likely to encounter demonic beasts, and the Starry Sky Empire is not prepared to conflict with the demonic beasts underground, if it annoys those demonic beasts in the depths of the earth, I am afraid that the loss will not be a dozen mechas.
At the time of the discovery of this Lingzang Star, the worship of the royal family of the Starry Sky Empire said that there were demonic beasts living in the depths of the ground of this Lingzang Star, and there were even some existences that could not even cope with that offering.
The more you go down, the stronger the strength of the demonic beasts you encounter, and even the third-order high-grade demonic beasts have appeared, such demonic beasts are extremely difficult for even Xuanyuan Hong to deal with, even the six consecutive blasting thorns cannot cause fatal damage to these demonic beasts, and it is often necessary to accumulate damage to a certain extent before it is possible to kill these demonic beasts.
Now Tyrone also has the strength to hunt alone, so both of them choose to hunt separately, so that they can hunt more magical beasts.
"Six consecutive blasting thorns!" Xuanyuan Hong reflexively punched, the sound of breaking the air was endless, and the scorpion-like thing blocking Xuanyuan Hong's body was suddenly blown away, but this scorpion was already not dead, that thick carapace resisted too much impact for him, and even the power of the blasting thorn burst inside was greatly reduced.
"Give me death!" Xuanyuan Hong made another move of six consecutive stabs, and this punch hit the scorpion directly in the head, and the overwhelmed armor finally shattered, revealing the flesh and blood inside.
"Gah!" The scorpion, who realized that it was not good, hurriedly swung its tail with a trick, and the dark blue tail hook pierced Xuanyuan Hong.
The tail hook of the scorpion is highly poisonous, and even Xuanyuan Hong, who has reached the realm of iron walls, does not want to take the risk and chooses to retreat.
But it was this one vacancy that was seized by this scorpion and escaped into the darkness.
"Want to run, no way!" Xuanyuan Hong kicked his right foot and immediately chased after him.
Xuanyuan Hong had long been accustomed to the darkness of the mine, so even in this mine, he could already see clearly, and his running speed was not under this scorpion at all.
After chasing for almost ten minutes, Xuanyuan Hong caught up with the scorpion, and smashed the scorpion's head with one punch, but at this time, it had already descended along the mine road, I am afraid that it was one or two thousand meters, and the road just passed did not seem to be excavated manually, obviously there were no mining slaves here, and these passages should have been excavated by these magical beasts.
The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes, this common sense Xuanyuan Hong still knows.
"Door!" Just as Xuanyuan Hong was about to turn around, he actually saw a pattern appear on the stone wall on the side.
This is a huge stone gate, the stone gate is carved with various patterns of fierce beasts, Xuanyuan Hong does not know any of them, but from the pictures drawn, these fierce beasts have the ability to turn over the river and the sea, and on the other side of the stone gate is a group of humans armed with various weapons, fighting to the death with these fierce beasts.
There was such a thing in the depths of the earth, and it was obvious that this was not the work of the Warcraft, let alone the Mine Slave.
The appearance of this door was already a bit incredible, but Xuanyuan Hong was even more curious about what would be behind this door.
But no matter how Xuanyuan Hong pushed this stone gate, this stone gate was still majestic, not even the slightest move.
The current Xuanyuan Hong is already the fourth level of the Iron Wall Realm, and he has thousands of catties of strength, but he can't push this stone gate!
"Hum!" However, just when Xuanyuan Hong had nothing to do, Bai Shi, who had been silent in Xuanyuan Hong's dantian, suddenly trembled, and a huge suction force passed directly down Xuanyuan Hong's hands to this huge stone door.
The huge stone gate suddenly became hot and began to melt like ice, and finally was absorbed by the white stone along Xuanyuan Hong's body!
Baishi had absorbed dozens of spirit stones before, but he didn't expect to absorb this stone gate again, Xuanyuan Hong was also a little curious, what kind of existence was the Baishi he found in the deep mountains.
At the moment when the stone gate disappeared, an incomparably rich aura erupted directly from the entrance of the stone gate, making Xuanyuan Hong feel comfortable all over his body, and the abundance of this aura even exceeded Xuanyuan Hong's hometown Wasteland Star!
